About Primary Actions
A primary action specifies the principal
action that Clearswift Gateway performs on traffic on a policy route,
or when a 'What To Look For' clause triggers a 'What To Do' action in
a content rule.
Primary Actions on Policy Routes
Each policy route specifies a default
primary action of either:
On policy routes where the primary action
is Allow the communication, you
can specify exceptions where the communication is not allowed. For example,
the Clearswift Gateway starter policy includes a policy route that
allows traffic between your 'Everyone' Machine List and the 'Web Mail'
Internet Zone except where the communication includes potentially harmful
content, such as viruses, spyware, tracking cookies, executables, and
unknown file types.
On policy routes where the primary action
is Block the communication, you
can specify a policy reference to a block page. Block pages inform users
when the Clearswift Gateway blocks a communication and provide an explanation.
Primary Actions in Content Rules
The 'What To Do' clause of each content
rule specifies a primary action. Depending on the 'What To Look For' clause
that triggers the action, it can be:
If any of the conditions defined by the
'What To Look For' clauses are met, Clearswift Gateway allows the communication.
- Block
the communication using a specified block page
If the conditions defined by the 'What
To Look For' clauses are met, Clearswift Gateway blocks the communication
using a specified block page.
If the 'What To Look For' clause is looking
for, and finds, a tracking cookie, Clearswift Gateway allows the communication
after it has removed the tracking cookie.
- Continue
to the next rule
If any of the conditions defined by the
'What To Look For' clauses are met, Clearswift Gateway allows the communication
and continues to the next content rule.
If any of the conditions defined by the
'What To Look For' clauses are met, Clearswift Gateway bypasses all content analysis checks.
- DO NOT filter search results
If any of the conditions defined by the
'What To Look For' clauses are met, Clearswift Gateway will not filter search results.
- Filter explicit images and video from search results
If any of the conditions defined by the
'What To Look For' clauses are met, Clearswift Gateway filters explicit images and video.
- Filter explicit text, images and video from search results
If any of the conditions defined by the
'What To Look For' clauses are met, Clearswift Gateway filters explicit text, images and video.
